“ 2011 release from modern New Age artist Sam Grawe AKA Hatchback. Like its predecessor, Colors Of The Sun (2008), it is full of California sunshine and open space, but this time Hatchback ventures further afield, crafting a widescreen epic that travels deep into a territory once considered off limits to new age. Could it really be that a new age of new age is here? Although resuscitating out-of-bounds areas of the record shop has become something of a hipster calling card (witness the revivals of folk and disco), Grawe has had a lifelong appreciation for the genre, stemming from summer nights listening to public radio s Music from the Hearts of Space and years scouring without irony the $1 new age bins for synthesizer-based artists such as Vangelis, Cluster, Michael Rother, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Iasos, Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream. Zeus and Apollo pays tribute to those gods of new age, while stepping boldly into the 21st century. ”
